Title:
RADAR IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND RADAR IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/189765
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This radar image processing device (10) is configured to be provided with: a phase difference calculation unit (71) which calculates, for respective pixels located at corresponding positions between a group of pixels encompassed in a first suppression application range within which reflected signals are to be suppressed in a first radar image captured of an observation region from a first radio wave receiving location and a group of pixels encompassed in a second suppression application range within which reflected signals are to be suppressed in a second radar image captured of the observation region from a second radio wave receiving location, the phase difference between a phase with respect to the first radio wave receiving location and a phase with respect to the second radio wave receiving location in each of a plurality of reflected signals that coexist within a single pixel; and a rotation quantity calculation unit (31) which calculates, from the respective phase differences, phase rotation quantities for the group of pixels encompassed in the second suppression application range, wherein a difference calculation unit (32) rotates, on the basis of the respective rotation quantities, the phases of the group of pixels encompassed in the second suppression application range, and then calculates a difference between the pixel values of corresponding pixels located in a corresponding manner from among the group of pixels encompassed in the first suppression application range and a group of phase-rotated pixels encompassed in the second suppression application range.
